The first instruction is - don't post HTML if you want answers. Many people will simply skip over the message rather than go through the hassle of trying to make sense of it if they see HTML instead of plain-text.

Further instructions on accessing the NG depend on HOW your friend plans to access it - via a newsreader, (if so, which one) or via a service such as deja.com.

I personally use "Agent" a news reader by Forte Advanced Management Software Inc. It allows you to easily view html like you posted, among many other things. If your friend is going to use Netscape Communicaator or Internet Explorer I would suggest you use the "Help" and look under Newsgroups. It's much too complex for to lead you through here and there is extensive info available through help. Netscape even has a Mail & News setup wizard.

When you finally get to where the news groups is functioning he wants to subscribe to rec.models.rc.air, of course.
